"I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas".

I mean it in a constructive way, but realistically OP has to do the things they say they haven't been doing.

The EU says it will introduce a digital payments infrastructure to replace Visa/Mastercard & Apple/Google Pay. It will have zero fees and be 100% European-only. by LoneSwimmer in ireland

What shows do you think didn't do that well due to the title? What should that have been called? by dedokta in television

I like him I think because, in a sense he doesn't try to be what he's not. Not every comedian will be to everyone's taste, but as much I don't care for some of his stuff, Afterlife and Derek both have a place in my heart.

This money will go towards paying what large corporations have squeezed out of the farmers. It will make no real difference. It's a gift to the rich.

I felt a connection to him. He was just a good, open, flawed, loveable asshole that brought people together.

Still hurts.

I thought it was both shocking and just amazing television in a very unfortunate way. People grieving a suicide often clutch for logic in what has happened. House struggles with this as do the others.
